With MacOS, for example, it's very easy to share iTunes music libraries

Solaris, IPv4 link-local addresses would automatically have a use.
Otherwise, their use is limited to network trouble shooting (IMO).
So I guess you have used LLA in MacOS. Do you know how
it works in a multi-homed machine?
The cases for me where LLA has been used in MacOS is all done
automatically and it appears that MacOS only ever attempts to bring up
one physical interface out wired/wireless/bluetooth/firewire that I
could possibly have.
LLA might actually be useful with bluetooth and firewire if we ever get
IP over firewire (not really sure why we would bother but it is
something that both Windows and MacOS have for some reason).
